You entirely missed the point. Solzhenitsyn was describing what happens when the common people DON'T revolt. And yes, when a SMALL percentage of the people eventually fight back, while the rest stand idly by, horrible things happen. And this isn't about "revolution" as much as it is about disobedience. "Let's go kill the king ... and put up a new king!" is entirely pointless. But when a big enough percentage of the population refuses to obey, whether they resist passively or forcibly, authoritarian control collapses. In case you didn't notice, the Soviet Union since Stalin FELL OVER. The U.S. empire will follow suit when enough people stop believing in an obligation to obey. (What happens after that depends upon whether people want to appoint a new ruling class or not... which depends on how many people escape the superstition of "authority" between now and then.)

Authority blows. Keep it up, Larken. I'll be spamming more of your stuff on my FB wall.
